Hi!

Husband and I made a trip to the new Ridgewood Whole Foods Store this Sunday.

Much bigger than the Ridgwood store and laid out nice. They sell wine/beer also.

More variety than the Ridgewood store, bigger salad bar and prepared foods sections and very nice people working there from what I can see.

Now I know some people call Whole Foods "Whole Paycheck" but if you shop for certain organic brands they are less expensive here than the supermarkets, and they have a good private label brand.

The only hitch is the blue law in Paramus seem to be stricter than the rest of Bergen county.. I could not buy chap stick or a loofah sponge the cashier informed me as I was checking out. I know I can buy these things at other bergen county stores so I guess Paramus is different. Alot of confusion at the check out registers with the Blue Law issue. Especially since the same shoppers can buy the same resticted items at the other stores in Bergen County.

I can't wait to check out Fairway, I am curious to see if there organic prices will be better than Whole Foods.

happy shopping/eating..

You're right about the Blue Laws. Paramus Township has it's own set that are more restrictive than the rest of the county. Some of them seem quite odd, as you've discovered. Thanks for the feedback; that's one of the few WH's in NNJ I haven't visited yet.

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
